Operations Nation is a community-powered knowledge hub for operations leaders.
We’re working together with a community of operations professionals to shine a light on the people, tools, and processes that help businesses survive, grow, and thrive, while at the same time building many different forms of resources that help our peers grow and develop in their roles.
We’re hosting the biggest Operations event in Europe.
cONference 2025 is the ONLY conference in Europe that is designed for YOU: the COOs, VPs of Operations, Heads of Operations, and Operations Managers who want to connect with people who get it.
This year’s event is all about how to lead in an unpredictable world by building resilience within yourself, your organisation, and the broader ecosystem.
We’re building a community to support you on your ops journey.
Join our Community 👥
Our community is our cornerstone: where it all began. If you currently have operations in your job title, at least 3 years of overall work experience, and feel ready to jump into an active hive mind of ops folks, take ~20 minutes to learn about our values and fill out our application form. 📝

We’re creating resources to help you grow.
Apply for Operations Nation’s Aspiring COO Course 🎓
We’re passionate about equipping the next generation of startup COOs with the mindsets and strategies they need not only to survive but thrive in their roles. We’ve designed a course to help operations leaders build up their skills and confidence to land the difficult-to-define role of a startup COO role and succeed in it. 🚀
The next cohort will run from September 2025.
Read our Survival Guide for COOs 📚
We’re on a mission to share with you the world’s first-ever book for startup COOs, by startup COOs. There are hundreds of books and articles written for CEOs, but very few designed for the second-in-command - so after many years of dreaming about this very book, we’re finally creating it.
Click the link below to read the published chapters, and find out how you can contribute to the rest of the book.
Subscribe to our Newsletter 📢
We’ll send you regular updates about what Operations Nation is up to, including upcoming events, ops-related resources, and our other projects and initiatives you can get involved with. ✨
We absolutely hate spam and overflowing inboxes (permanently fighting for that beautiful inbox zero) so we promise that we won’t be sending you more than 4 emails per month (and probably less than that, really). Ops people like efficiency, so we prefer to keep our newsletters packed with information. 🤓
Follow us on LinkedIn 📱
If you’d like to know a little more: we post frequently on social media and share all sorts of news and interesting articles from our own feeds, along with some behind-the-scenes details about how we’re building our company with a wONderful team of creatives and a community of ops people. 🙌
